A journey to the heart of the flavors of the Black Périgord
The Black Périgord is a true paradise for food lovers. Foie gras, walnuts, strawberries, goat cheeses and Bergerac wines: each product tells a story of authenticity and terroir.
Staying at Camping Maisonneuve, in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, is to treat yourself to a gourmet immersion just steps from the Dordogne, in a preserved natural setting, ideal for discovering and savoring the region’s culinary treasures.
More and more travelers are choosing a gourmet stay in the Dordogne to combine relaxation, nature and culinary discoveries. The Black Périgord is recognized as one of the most authentic destinations to explore the cuisine of the Southwest.
Step 1: The colorful markets of the Périgord
Sarlat Market (20 min from the campsite)
A must-visit every Wednesday and Saturday morning. The medieval streets fill with colors and scents: fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses, charcuterie and local products you must try.
Saint-Cyprien Market (20 min)
More friendly and family-oriented, it takes place every Wednesday and Sunday morning. You will find: crunchy walnuts, creamy Rocamadour cheese, wild mushrooms, fragrant honey and artisanal jams.
Camping Maisonneuve Tip: take advantage of our picnic tables or your pitch to turn your purchases into a country feast (reserved for campers).
These markets are not just places of commerce, but true cultural and gastronomic experiences.
